Neil made a call for me in 1979. After a couple phone calls I decided upon one with a walnut lid, mahogany body. Very expensive...$29. Has led to the demise of more than a few gobblers.

     That's a very special call you got directly from the master himself, now that's a true heirloom, that's awesome!
      I got one from Lamar in 2009 that I cherish. Unfortunately, I'm a bit too young to have had one made from Neil Cost and I'm not buying used because of authenticity concerns and they cost a little more than your $29 now!

Good video - thanks for posting.

I own 2 of Lamar's boxes - one is a boatpaddle with red cedar over
yellow poplar he made for me in 1994, and the other is a checkered short box with black walnut over mineral poplar he made for me in 2010.

Great calls from an even greater man.

[Old Gobbler]

Both great men
Neil was exceptionally friendly and helpful to others  on all things turkey hunting and call making ...he was like a kid on Christmas morning at the convention

They were always at the Florida convention and always together 

Lamars calls sound so good ! Really , really nice sound to them
